Obama's team is having a hard time filling jobs in the Administration. The vetting process seems to be brutal. Is it true that they are now water-boarding candidates? seriously, why would anyone want to take a job in government given the treatment. In the old days it was easy for Democrats because after one left government service one could go to work for a financial institution and skim off a fortune from the mortgage industry. For example, Franklin Raines, Robert Rubin, and Jamie Gorelick managed to skim a few hundred million dollars. Maybe the Democrats are having trouble getting candidates because the door has closed on being able to skim from financial institutions. (Many rich Democrats fit the description of "looters" in Ayn Rand's novel Atlas Shrugged.)
